If I had wings like Noah's Dove
I'd fly up the river to the one I love.
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
I had me a man who was long and tall
and he moved his body like a cannonball.
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
I remember one evening in the pouring rain
down in my heart was an aching pain.
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust.
Show me anybody that a man can trust.
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
If I had wings like Noah's dove
I'd fly up the river to the one I love.
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.
Fare thee well, my honey, fare thee well.

You get a line, I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line, I'll get a pole, babe.
You get a line, I'll get a pole, we'll go down to the crawdad hole
Honey, baby, mine.
Along came a man with a sack on his back, honey.
Along came a man with a sack on his back, babe.
Along come a man with a sack on his back, packin all the crawdads he can pack
Honey, baby mine.

Old grey owl, how do you fly
Over the hills and into the sky
As we move on through the woods
Continue our journey however it goes.
Old grey owl, how do you fly
Over the clouds and into the night
Filled with darkness and mystery
Know that we'll make history.
Old grey owl, I promise you
We'll make it west, whatever we do.
One step forward and forging our way,
Light of the moon's as good as day.
Old grey owl watching you,
Gives me the sense I don't know what to do,
'Cause I've been traveling for years it seems
With nothing to hang on to but my dreams.
Summer's hot, the winter's cold
And a shadow's forming over my soul.
I wanna fly with you,
See things from on high with you
Till then I'm stuck on the ground.
I hope sometime you can come down
And see how things been going for me.
Whether I'm around, by then we'll see.

Well I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
Gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Well where were you last Friday night
while I was a lyin' in jail
You were walkin' the streets with another man
wouldn't even go my bail
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Well now mama's a beauty operator
Sister can wheel and can spin
Hey now daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin
Watch that all money roll in.
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back

Old Home Place

It's been ten long years since I left my home
In the hollow where I was born
Where the cool fall nights make the wood smoke rise
And the foxhunter blows his horn
I fell in love with a girl from the town
I thought that she would be true
I ran away to Charlottesville
And worked in a sawmill or two
What have they done to the old home place
Why did they tear it down
And why did I leave the plow in the field
And look for a job in the town
Well my girl she ran off with somebody else
The taverns took all my pay
And here I stand where the old home stood
Before they took it away
What have they done to the old home place
Why did they tear it down
And why did I leave the plow in the field
And look for a job in the town
Now the geese they fly south and the cold wind blows
As I stand here and hang my head
I've lost my love I've lost my home
And now I wish that I was dead
What have they done to the old home place
Why did they tear it down
And why did I leave the plow in the field
And look for a job in the town
